Birds by Bruce Campbell

At Queen's University in Belfast, Bruce Campbell is Emeritus Professor of Medieval Economic History. He is a former fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin and a member of the Academia Europaea, Academy of Social Sciences, British Academy, Royal Historical Society, and Royal Irish Academy. His teaching at Queen's from 1973 to 2010 covered the economic and environmental history of Britain and Ireland over the last millennium. He was a graduate of the Universities of Liverpool and Cambridge. He is the author of English Seigniorial Agriculture 1250-1450 (2000), co-author of A Medieval Capital and Its Grain Supply: Agrarian Production and Distribution in the London Area c.1300 (1993), and England on the Eve of the Black Death: An Atlas of Lay Lordship, Land, and Wealth, 1300-49 (2006), as well as three collections of essays: His research makes use of the abundance of comprehensive statistical data found in England's large medieval archives to shed methodical light on the country's economic development at a time when it was still comparatively impoverished, underdeveloped, and prone to food crises and famine. He is now working on the manuscript for his 2013 Ellen McArthur Lectures, which will be published by Cambridge University Press.
